The result Of the election Tuesday
forever and ~eternally settled the
question of defeating a regular NOM
inee of the Democratic party in
Mexico, and we are glad of it. The
Democratic party Of Mexico. Aud
rain county, the State of Missouri
and the United States must preserve
its organization intact. The mem
bers of the party must stand by the
nominees, whether they are personal
favorites or not. No party can sue
coed if a portion of the party bolts
this year, another portion next year
and so on, because their tavorites
were defeated at the polls. W. h
Potts is personally n Of the most
popular men in Mexico. He had be-
hind him some of the best political
workers in Mexico, and his defeat Is
a great victory for the Democratic
organization of this city. Potts
made a much better race than any
other man could have made against
the nominee, and still he was defeat
ed by a rousing majority. The time
is past IN Mexico when Democrats
vote their personal preferences a.
against the nominees OF the party,
and the sooner this Is known the
sooner will harmony prevail III the
party. Democrats IN Mexico and
Audrain county should do their
pulling for their fayorites at the pri-
mares and vote as one nan against
the Republicans or boilers, Oh indie
pendents, at the general election
This is the way for the party to sue,
coed in town, county, state and ma
tional fights. In order for the Dem
ocratic party TO be successful II
national elections the party organize
ton must be kept intact, harmonious
and in good shape, clear down &c
village aud township elections.
Straight Democrats must be kept
on guard. Democrats who vote the
ticket only when it suits them, must
take back seats. There are only two
great parties. You belong to either
one or the other. There are NJ
mugwumps i'll Audrain county.
We are glad t." hear That most Of
the Democrats wno have been in The
habit Of going off when the TICKET
did not suit them, are now standing
square-toed AMI preparing for tia
national fight in 1883, when tin
Democratic party, if harmonious anC
properly organized, will again b'
v Glorious.

His Exeat,
Your Grace, it isn't worth the
paper it is printed on
These words were uttered by
Father c. r, O'Leary as he stood
pale with anger before Archbishop
kenrick in the study of the Archepis-
eopal residence at Ne. Ill North Six
teenth street, ST. Louis. The priest
held in his hand Il piece Of paper
which had just been handed him by
the venerable Archbishop. 1t was an
exeat dismissing him from the arch
diocese, but he crumpled i, up and
thrust it in his pocket, Father
C'Leary is dark and impressive look
ing, and his coal black hair, and eyes
which flashed with anger, co~ntrasted
strangely with the white locks aud
serene demeanor of the Archhis lsoT.
The two men faced each other thus
for Il moment, and then the priest
passed out of the room.
These are the facts which have
leaked out and set the community of
priests in II wlliri Of excitement
Never before in the West has a priest
detied tho authority of his superior
and the clergy are considering what
the outcome will be. Father O'Leary
is known 10 be a mansof great deter
mination and the Archbishop is equal
" firm. What course will be pur-
sued with the priest cannot ever now
be guessed at, but that the Archbish-
OPP will assert his authority is not
doubted.
Inquiry failed to draw out any in
formation from the diocesan authori-
ties beyond a statement thst
AN EXEAT
had been issued. Nothing could be
cleaned from them about the scene
at the archep,scopal residence.
Father O'Leary was found by a
reporter and in answer to the inquiry
of whether or not the trouble had
anything to do with his advocacy OF
the Knights of Labor come time
ago, said:
"Well, 1 can't say it has. Why
should it," he added, with a scar.
castle smile, when Cardinal Glib.
bons and Cardinal Manning have
come to agree with me on the sub.
ject. anticipated them by a year,

Socialist, Communist, and everything
of that sort, although l have helped
bring about the present happy rela.
tons between the Knights of Labor
and the Church. Look at this letter
and see where I stand
A LETTER FROM rowDERLY.
He handed a letter signed T. Y,
Powderly, Grand Master Workman
offering the priest a position on the
Knights Journal, On the ground tina
the paper needed Christian writers
and not Socialists.
FATHER ~o'LEARY's WORK.
Father OLeary was ordained il
May, 1873, by Archbishop Kenrick
and was made assistant at st. John
for Fix months. Then lie was at Ca
rondelet one year and from Their,
came to this city, remaining here 81,
years. He was at huntsville a year
and then went to De Soto, Mo, wber,
he was a pastor five years, up to las
fall, when he resigned. For q yea
before the strike, ON the Gould sys
tenn he edited the St. Louis Cotholi
World, and was an active supporte
of the knights of Labor. He is
great church builder, having bull
churches in this city, Fulton, Mar

Effect of Woman Suffrage.

An exchange. speaking of the
women il Kansas registering SO they
could vote says:
AS an occupation vas demanded of
each they have been classified as
housekeepers. servants, clerks, teach
ers and ''sports." OF the latter Ill
have been enrolled. and it is said that
many others Of them are registered
among the housekeepers. These
Trailer sisters are avowed antiprohibi-
tionists, and have registered with the
express purpose OF neutrallzing the
temperance vote Of the women. Be-
sides the ''sports.' who may be safe
~ numbered at 200, there have been
many III registered, wives of
German citizens, who regard all reg
ulation of the sale OF beer as a direct
infringement of their rights. There
are other women Of the middle classes
who look upon the prohibitionists as
fanatics. Many of these have regis
tered with a desire of casting a vote
in reluke to the temperance advo-
Gates. 1t is therefore manifest that
the female vote will not only neutral
ize itself and do no good in tue di-
rection desired, but Will actually cast
an influence for the other side.
This phase of the situation has
been freqneptl; pointed out in the
daily papers of Wichita, which are
unanimously opposed to the female
suffrage move The Eagle, the lead
ing paper Of the town, after devoting
